You were the team to beat.

Like it or not, now Arsenal are.

I'm not going to suggest that the two are directly linked but one thing is for sure; Stam leaving certainly didn't help.

2001 we ended up with 80 points, last season 77 so in reality we were only three points worse, and our 80 wouldn't have been enough as Arse improved 17 points and got 87.

In 1999/2000 we had a fantastic league season but in 2000/01 our easy title was as much down to poor opposition as to the quality of our play.

What's your point?

That you collected almost as many points without Stam as you did with him, so his presence didn't make that much difference?

i think more than us missing his talent or skills we lost a leader of the defensive line, someone who could take ultimate responsibility. when he left i think we looked like we kept looking at eachother waiting for some one else to take the lead, make the difficult decisions. this ended with goals conceded and people looking at eachother not really sure who to blame.
it dint help the kids eh? :(
 
1 And he wasn't really good at helping the likes of Brown and Silvestre developing their careers.

WRONG. If you heed to SAF's testimony (pre Stam's book)The gaffer said that Stam was magnificent and SOLE responsable for the developing of Brown and SILVESTRE

2.The Jaap of today isn't good enough to play for United and if he was sold today Nazio would be
lucky to get even £10M.

WRONG. Jaap is wanted by both Juventus and Milan. He is currently the Serie A best defender so he should do fine in England
